Black bear busts Utah pot-growing operation

This sheriff is definitely having fun with this story about a large black bear in Utah that has raided a clandestine marijuana growing operation so often that it chased the grower away.

“This bear is definitely law-enforcement minded,” said Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins in an Associated Press story. “If I can find this bear I’m going to deputize him,” he said tongue firmly in cheek.

Deputies found food containers ripped apart and strewn everywhere, cans with bear teeth marks, claw marks and bear prints across the Garfield County camp on Tuesday.

Perkins said the operation on Boulder Mountain included 4,000 “starter” sacks of pot and 888 young plants.

“This particular bear apparently was not going to give up and basically chased these marijuana farmers away,” Perkins said. “Our county is so tough on drugs that even the wildlife are getting in on the action.”

What a riot, this guy.
